Security software company HelpSystems has acquired security awareness training provider Terranova Security to help support global customers in building localised employee security awareness training.
Terranova extends HelpSystems’ overall security suite with a training security awareness solution that complements email security offerings from Clearswift, Agari and PhishLabs.
“Terranova’s global reach and gamification techniques truly set them apart,” said Kate Bolseth, CEO, HelpSystems. “Additionally, their record in training users to fend off attacks is exceptional, and we believe their knowledge and capabilities will enable our customers to excel in this as well. They are a welcome addition to the HelpSystems family.”
In addition to Terranova’s training platform leveraging gamification techniques, it also offers a range of training content for security awareness in more than 40 languages.
“Addressing the impact of the human element in cyber defence is where Terranova shines, and we’re proud to be the security awareness partner of choice for millions of users globally,” added Lise Lapointe, CEO of Terranova. “HelpSystems’ strategy, culture and product direction are in lockstep with our vision, making this an exemplary fit. Our team is eager to work with HelpSystems’ related security businesses to combine our expertise and help customers continue to grow their skills and meet industry mandates.”
The deal marks the latest in several acquisitions made by HelpSystems, including data loss prevention specialists, Digital Guardian and MDR company Alert Logic.
